  • with that kind of racket Borg would beat Federer 60 60 60

  • The ADIDAS GTX PRO T was one of the best raclets i've ever used, it felt so nice, i'm using the sampras pro staff 85 nowdays, I don't like the new technology shit too light for me and all make in fucking china.

  • @yasudab1 I think so.  An early graphite composite. It was an Adidas GTX ProT

  • @gyrate4 But Ivan Lendl was playing with a Graphite Racket I think

  • @yasudab1 That's a good question. Sorry, I don't know. I'd like to try one, but nobody wants to play with wood racquets these days. 

    They say Borg had his racquets strung at 80 Ibs.

  • @gyrate4 It's a combination Wood and Graphite overlay, right? So did it hit harder than a Wood Racket. Most likely.

  • @millionairejh It's a Donnay Borg model. Might find one on ebay. Jimmy Arias used it too.

  • Lendl was dead tired during the match and it wasn't until a few years later that he went on fitness jag that made him one of the fittest players to ever play. He never allowed himself to be outworked again...

  • This was a great match. Just 12 years later, Sergi Bruguera would win his first French Open title.
